答案:
本文是一篇说明文,预言了2080年人类的生活。
1. B 由于是对未来的预测,从changed可知生活与现在不同。
2. C 根据本段整体内容可知,本段主要预测人们到月球旅行的情景。voyage“航行”。 3. D 现在去月球度假就和2008年人们去欧洲度假一样方便。safe“安全的”,dangerous“危险的”,difficult“困难的”,均不符合语境。
4. A 参见上题解析。as此处为连词,意为“正如,如同”。
5. A 后文中的“the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window”暗示此处指景点,故填scenic。
6. C 由下文的“every room has at least one picture window”可知建的是旅馆。
7. A 从picture window可推测人们是通过观景窗来欣赏月球上的景色的。后三项分别意为“观察”“观看,注视”“参观”,均不符合语境。
8. B A、C两项为不及物动词,没有被动语态。这里指提供了老少皆宜的娱乐。
9. A 根据本段首句“People are still eating food.”可知人们不直接消耗电能和核能。
10. B 根据该空后的the food可知选B。
11. A 主要食物来源依然是绿色植物。continue“继续”。
12. C 该句的前后分句是因果关系,故选C项。for作表原因的连词时不位于句首。
13. A 由于当今世界的人口已是一百年前的数倍,我们的地球表面基本上已被填满。
14. A 此处表示沙漠也可以灌溉了,irrigate“灌溉”,符合语境。
15. C 收成也很好。harvest“收成”。yield“产量”,应为高低。
16. A 根据本段首句信息可知,由于农业高度发达,从事耕作的人很少。
17. C run“经营”。此处表示“通过按几个按钮来经营农场成为可能”。 18. A As the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases是原因,18空所在句是结果,故选A项。
19. D 由该段最后一句可知,人们的疾病减少,因此比以前健康。
20. A 参见上题解析。人们身心都更加健康,有可能彻底摆脱疾病的困扰。get rid of“摆脱”。
.阅读理解
Hand gestures can be offensive, but recently a reserved, loving one has risen to popularity. To make it, curl the index fingers on both hands with the thumbs pointing down and join them to make a heart shape. Two people can make it together: a human version of those bestfriendsforever lockets(盒式项链坠) that break apart to be shared.
Advertisers have taken note: it has appeared in campaigns for LensCrafters and the clothing line Miss Me. A hand heart with the top fingers splayed apart like wings, however, was removed from a Virginia tourism ad after revelations that it was a symbol of the Gangster Disciples.
The hand heart is popular in the rave(狂欢聚会) scene where tiggerlovesyou. com records young people enthusiastically handhearting. “The hearthand symbol means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’,” the country singer Taylor Swift said in an email from her “Speak Now” tour. “Its just a sweet, simple message that you can deliver without saying a word.” She added that she started doing it in pictures during high school.
One day during a festival, she said, she was in the middle of a song and decided to put her hands above her head in the heart shape. The crowd started doing this gesture and cheering.
The singer’s fans feel so proprietary(专属的) about the gesture that a debate erupted on an online fan discussion board when Lady Gaga made the hand heart.
A commenter wrote, “It was like a code word almost, special to us Swifties and now everyone is going to start doing so. It won’t feel special anymore. One performer or audience probably did it in an extraordinary performance.” It used to take longer for nonverbal culture to move. But now, with smartphones, it’s instant.
Regardless of its
possible
ephemerality(短暂流行), Ms. Swift still feels the power of the hand heart. “When the moment is just right and the crowd is screaming louder than any sound I ever imagined Id heard,” she wrote. “I just want to tell them I love them over and over, but sometimes the simplest thing to do is to make a sign with your hands.”
1. Whats the core of the gesture?
A. A heart shape.
B. The index fingers.
C. Thumbs down.
D. Splayed fingers.
2. On what occasion can we often see the gesture?
A. In emails.
B. At a party.
C. On a tour.
D. During a festival.
3. Why does Taylor Swift do the gesture?
A. Because she wants to show her love for her fans.
B. Because it is a nonverbal culture.
C. Because it is proprietary to her.
D. Because she started doing it during high school.
4. What is the Swifties’ response to the gesture?
A. They were happy to see that Lady Gaga also made the hand heart.
B. They pay no attention to it.
C. They like it because it is simple.
D. They think it is their patent.
答案:
歌手Swift用手摆出心的形状来感谢她的歌迷,这一手势成为一种时尚。
1. A 细节理解题。由第一段的描述可知该手势的形状是a heart shape,下文的hand heart也是线索提示,故该手势的核心是心形,故选A。
2. B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The hand heart is popular in the rave(狂欢聚会) scene”可推断出答案为B。
3. A 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“I just want to tell them I love them over and over, but sometimes the simplest thing to do is to make a sign with your hands.”可知A项正确。
4. D 细节理解题。理解第六段的“The singers fans feel so proprietary(专属的) about the gesture that a debate erupted on an online fan discussion board when Lady Gaga made the hand heart.”可知Swift的粉丝们认为这是他们的专利,故D项正确。

范文:
Its reported than there is a worrying phenomenon that it becomes harder and harder for students from rural areas to go to famous universities in our country. According to a survey, students from poor families only make up about 10% in Peking University. It seems that the poorer the students are, the worse universities they’ll study in. Autonomous enrollment, the policy of awarding marks to students with special talents or to those who have won certain competitions, and the recommendation policy makes it more difficult for rural students to be admitted to famous universities.
As is known to us all, education is intended for the public, and all should have an equal chance to receive higher education. Therefore, measures should be taken to create a fair educational environment. Besides, students with rural backgrounds need try their best to get more opportunities for themselves, for one’s initiative plays a key role in his/her development.
